I flew from Mexico City to Los Angeles because I wanted to be good at maneuvering the 757.

Takeoff!!
gear up!
Over the mountain…
Over the desert
Over the mountains again
final!!
Touch down!
PS
Can somebody tell me a good procedure for landing 757?..
Seems like a bit of a high pitch for a final approach, what was your IAS here?
I think it was about 150 knots
Cool pics, very beautiful! I believe dropping the speed to 130 knots for final will fix the high pitch for approach. Hopefully that helps a bit, but safe travels! 😎 🛬
Sure!
When you’re about 10 nm away from the runway, you should be at 160-170 knots, flaps at 20°, and gear down. I typically set autobrakes to LOW. By the time you reach 5 nm you should be at full flaps (or 25°) and at landing speed (depending on weight, between 130 and 145 knots); execute a missed approach if you’re not stabilized by this point. Disconnect the autopilot at 500 feet. Begin to flare at 40 feet and retard the power at 20. Gently ease the main wheels down. Be sure to go-around if you float too long. Carefully set the front gear down. Set reverse thrust, slowly idle the power at 50 knots, and exit the runway at 20 knots. Finally, raise flaps, lower the spoilers, and start up the APU.
Hopefully this should give you a good landing and rollout!
Doing this flight in an hour and a half!
Thank you
I’ll try it again!
